each animated GIF contains several frames. Microsoft Paint & Photo editor are not animated GIF aware, so they only display the first frame. Get a program such as Graphic Workshop Pro, etc if you want to create, view or edit animated GIFs.

Now, to the coding part of your question - If you want to cause a browser to display an animated GIF, or to create some HMTL cotaining an animated GIF, the procedure is no different than for a standard GIF (the browser does teh tricky stuff).

If you want to - say - display an animated GIF on a Tcanvas or other GUI object in your program & animate it yourself ... go to http://www.wotsit.org and get the file format. From that, you should be able to pick out the individual frames & display them one after another, with a suitable delay between.

Hmmm, if using Delphi or Boland C++ builder, it is possible that someone already created a component TanimatedGif.
